P95 Julius Clinical has become AKEURA, a specialist contract research organization (CRO) helping sponsors advance medicines across their full lifecycle. Our dual expertise in early- through late-phase clinical development and real-world evidence is delivered by hands-on clinicians, scientists, and epidemiologists, drawing on more than 25 years of experience. We’re built on the belief that a team of the right people, giving everything they’ve got to the needs of the study, will outperform any other approach. Our team of more than 500 experts spanning five continents has delivered more than 1,000 studies in over 75 countries, including regions where patients are hardest to reach. AKEURA exclusively focuses on three therapeutic areas: neuroscience, infectious diseases and vaccines, and cardiometabolic diseases. Across each, we bring the experience, reach and hands-on expertise to give every promising medicine the study it deserves.
